If you notice, when Durking was explaining the DQ today, he was talking about MUCH earlier in the stretch, and not that final cut off, he did not it was 'part of it'


That's what we all thought because that's what they were showing when Durkin was explaining it, which makes me feel even more strongly that it was an iffy DQ. There has been so much worse. This is why there needs to be a clear set of guidelines when it comes to the DQ's They should make one of the Stewards get on the track PA and explain what they saw rather than make Durkin do it. They owe it to the betting public.
